In Tolkien's fictional mythology, a Valar (divine being), specifically the most powerful creator and queen of the heavens who shaped the stars.
Created by J.R.R. Tolkien for his legendarium, likely inspired by Sanskrit or Old English roots. The name suggests 'she who exalts' and Tolkien deliberately chose names that would feel ancient and mythologically resonant.
Tolkien invented not just a character but an entire linguistic system—Varda's name follows linguistic rules he created, making her feel authentically ancient even though she's completely fictional, which is why fantasy nerds respect his worldbuilding so much.
